Domino are very honoured to announce the upcoming release of Coals To Newcastle, a comprehensive seven-disc anthology of one of the finest groups of all-time, Orange Juice. Coals To Newcastle will be released on November 9th.

The release will be comprised of six audio compact discs and one DVD that will contain the band’s complete discography and other studio recordings as well as a collection of their BBC sessions. The DVD will contain the band’s two promotional clips for “Rip It Up” and “What Presence?!” (the latter directed by Derek Jarman), their four performances on The Old Grey Whistle Test and the rare posthumous concert video Dada With (The) Juice. In total, Coals To Newcastle includes 16 previously unreleased tracks with another 23 tracks previously unavailable digitally on earlier re-issues.

Join the list to get the inside story of the boxset as told by its producers and Edwyn Collins + a/v gems from the cutting room floor & special offers.

In six tumultuous years, Orange Juice, led by Edwyn Collins, blazed a trail of self-reliance with the legendary Postcard label, ran in conjunction with then-manager Alan Horne, and greatly expanded the palette of independent music at the start of the ‘80s with their brand of literate pop songwriting that both pre-saged the coming of The Smiths and kickstarted a renaissance in Scottish pop music that continues to this day.

After an embryonic start as the punk-influenced Nu-Sonics, Orange Juice came into being in 1979 as unfashionable pre-Year Zero punk influences such as The Byrds, Chic, Motown and The Velvet Underground began to make their presence known in the band’s developing sound. Over the next year, the group recorded four landmark 7” singles on Postcard (as well as putting out early releases from Aztec Camera, The Go-Betweens and Josef K). Though each single proved more successful than its predecessor, greater commercial aspirations led the band to sign to Polydor in the midst of making their first album in a prescient deal in which the band retained ownership of their material.

The original lineup abruptly fell apart shortly after the release of the debut album, You Can’t Hide Your Love Forever, and, as quickly, the band’s future was decidedly unassured. However, with the addition of Malcolm Ross, formerly of Postcard labelmates Josef K, and Zimbabwe-by-way-of-Glasgow drummer Zeke Manyika, the group proceeded to make their commercial mark with the timeless funk and soul-inflected Rip It Up, whose title track was to be the group’s biggest UK hit, peaking at #8 in February of 1983.

During the recording of a follow-up, the group had decided to head in a more rock direction, but creative tensions arose again and the group fell apart during the recording sessions from which the Texas Fever mini-LP was culled. With Polydor’s support of the group withdrawing, Collins, joined in the studio by Manyika, persevered to make the bittersweet swan song album, The Orange Juice, a collection that telegraphed the group’s impending demise amidst some of their finest recordings. Collins made it official in March of 1985 announcing mid-performance at a miner’s benefit at the Brixton Academy that it would be Orange Juice’s last performance.

Watch them performing "Ship of Promises" live at Dublin's Button Factory:

As well as unveiling his new website (http://www.trickysite.com), Tricky unveils his new video for the first single, "Murder Weapon", from his forthcoming album Mixed Race (out October 5th).

"Murder Weapon" is a reworking of the classic dancehall hit from Jamaican-born Echo Minott, originally released in the early '90s. Tricky fell in love with the track and was determined to hear how it would sound with a female vocalist (in a similar fashion to his reworking of "Black Steel" with Martina Topley-Bird). Tricky here enrolls Irish-Italian Franky Riley, who has toured as Tricky's vocalist for two years and makes her recording debut on his new album Mixed Race.

The video, filmed by Fleur and Manu in La Salle, Tricky’s boxing club in Paris, features Tricky training and boxing with other local fighters. It's a cinematic odyssey of guns, boxing and coercion.

Owen Pallett follows his critically acclaimed album Heartland with an EP of brand new material. A Swedish Love Story brims with pop melodies, sweeping strings and joyous emotion. From the opening track’s propulsive rhythm and soaring vocals, to the taut and energetic strings of "Scandal at the parkade", into the gorgeous and epic closer "Don’t stop", the A Swedish Love Story EP is a stunning mini-masterpiece.

A Swedish Love Story will be released on 10" and digital on September 28th. It's available for pre-order now from the Domino Mart.

Here's the tracklist:
01. A man with no ankles
02. Scandal at the parkade
03. Honour the dead, or else
04. Don’t stop

Here's what Owen has to say about A Swedish Love Story:
To contrast Heartland's convoluted record process, and also to cut myself a break, I recorded this EP in New York City over a week, using not much more than my violin, my Moog, a bass and a drum kit. It's closer in sound to my first album Has A Good Home than anything else. It's called A Swedish Love Story in tribute to one of my favourite films En Karlekshistoria  and as a love letter to the Swedish pop stars who inspired it. This is probably the most posi record I'll ever make, enjoy the mood while it lasts.

Rewiring their trademark hyped up sound Clinic have entered a dream state of harpsichord, dulcimers and strings. And that dream state is best visualized by means of the psychedelic puppetry in their new video for "I'm Aware", their first single off of Bubblegum. The video was directed by Peter Fowler (the gentleman behind many Super Furry Animals artwork and visuals).

Clinic are set to release their new album, Bubblegum, on October 5th and "I'm Aware" is available now through the Domino Digital Store and iTunes.

ODDSAC is a feature film collaboration between Animal Collective and filmmaker Danny Perez, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2010 and has screened to sold-out audiences in dozens of US cities. We're thrilled to announce that the DVD will be released on August 10th and is now available for pre-order.

Pre-order ODDSAC

ODDSAC is a dense and surreal layering of audio and visual elements that eschews conventional narrative to create a visceral viewing experience.

ODDSAC represents a new synthesis of music and film, a “visual album” whose songs will not be released in any other form. It features an original score with new songs from Animal Collective and complex digital manipulation by Perez, a debut filmmaker and visual artist known for his concert projections with musicians such as Black Dice and Panda Bear.

Perez and Animal Collective have also collaborated on two music videos (“Who Could Win A Rabbit” and “Summertime Clothes”), and a major art installation piece Transverse Temporal Gyrus, which occupied the entire Guggenheim Museum in New York City. ODDSAC is the result of over four years of intense collaboration between Perez and the band.

“A mind-frazzling piece full of vampire monks, demonic fakirs, and lengthy episodes of trance-inducing pattern loops. A confrontational and immersive experience.” – The Guardian

“Whatever visual sustenance your everyday life may provide, this intense rush of unadulterated imagination will leave you feeling alive and invigorated. ODDSAC’s baffling nature is also its greatest charm – sit back, disengage your critical faculties and allow the vivid colours and sounds to assault your senses. It’s the nearest you can get to an out-of-body experience without touching the hallucinogens.” – GQ

Domino is thrilled to announce that two of our albums have been nominated for the UK's Mercury Music Prize 2010. Last year’s sublime Two Dancers from England’s Wild Beasts and the recently released Becoming a Jackal from Dublin-based Villagers are amongst the twelve albums shortlisted for this year’s prize.

WILD BEASTS - TWO DANCERS
Wild Beasts’ second album, Two Dancers, was released last summer to exceptional critical acclaim. Wild Beasts made a record of earthly pleasures that sounded thrillingly widescreen, open and in awe of life; equally intoxicated and disturbed by the possibilities of pleasure. Two Dancers is a streamlined, minimalist and user friendly Wild Beasts, moving with equal grace and gusto, equally elegant and ugly. A "5 star review" in the London Sunday Times, features in NME, MOJO, Uncut and a Number 1 Album of the Year plus cover of The Fly have proven the band’s wide appeal and steadily growing fanbase. The four-piece has recently performed heroic sets at Glastonbury & the iTunes festival. They return to N. America for a brief run of shows including Lollapalooza in Chicago and Outside Lands in SF.

VILLAGERS - BECOMING A JACKAL
Villagers are Conor J. O’ Brien and friends, who won over many hearts with their debut Becoming a Jackal, released in spring this year. Becoming a Jackal introduced us to Villagers’ vivid narratives, gripping poetry and melodic depth. Conor J. O’Brien’s clear and distinctive voice weaves a remarkable spell, delivering an album of rare and alarming beauty. Villagers return to N. America beginning a brief West Coast Tour in Vancouver on July 21st.
